August Projects Review

Do you ever try to think of where the time has gone and what did you accomplish. Sometime it doesn't seem like I get anything done until I sit back and take a look at my posts, then I am reminded that I did get a few things done.

First on the list was a little paint and stain project to Turn Tacky to Gold. I gave you a tutorial on how to take some really tacky figurines and turn them into gold treasures. They look like real brass.

Next I added some Green/White/Brown decor to the living room. I showed you several versions of this color scheme by just changing a few pillows.

My new sewing machine that I got for my birthday had me on a roll, so I created a whole new color scheme for the family room.. I coordinated some checks from the living room into the new colors to tie the two rooms together.

Just look how productive you were! A great month of projects! I know what you mean about not feeling like you've done much until you look back at your posts. I feel the same way...and then I look at my kiddos and they are still growing big and strong, so I must have done a lot of cooking this month too ;-) Hope you are enjoying this Labor Day! Have a super week!Blessings,Nici

I do like your review of the month. It's nice to remember what was done. Here at my house it was a pretty much do nothing month, but I've been enjoying a few day trips around and about and have lots of good memories of family times. Wishing you a Happy Labor Day and a great September!

Since I seem to thrive on Fall and Winter and look forward to it all through Spring and Summer..of COURSE I'm heavy into getting ready. Checking out adding to my Fall collections of goodies, although I don't need a single thing. :) Yes, I would say you have done a LOT! Your bathroom is my favorite...my VERY favorite.

About Me

Hi, I'm Marty. Welcome, after years of living farther away from family, we got the keys to our new home on December 17th, 2016. Two weeks later we jumped in with both feet and the remodeling began. I hope you will follow along as I transform our "Builder Basic" house into a home that is a reflection of our family. Careful planning, tons of DIY and a sharp eye for design can turn any house into your dream even if you have a small budget.
